A Real Treat

Between semesters, and highly anticipating my LAST summer college class before graduation, my mom and aunt treated me to one of the best vacations ever! Truthfully, when Mom approached me last year about attending a conference at Billy Graham’s Training Center, The Cove, the thought didn’t send a thrill up my leg. But this year, my aunt graciously shared some good fortune and treated four of us to a few days in the Blue Ridge Mountains. May was the perfect month to travel; we experienced beautiful weather, and the mountainsides were in full bloom. Quite a difference from hot, humid East Texas.

We made our first tourist-y stop in Franklin, TN, and hung out in the BK (Burger King) trying to spot a C&W celebrity. No luck. But I did have a Burger King burger my way, and I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express that night.

I’ll share more of this great adventure later. Going for some beauty sleep.
Peace and love. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. God bless Israel. God help America and have mercy on her.

Don’t you love Franklin? It’s a beautiful little town – you should go in the fall, too – it’s gorgeous and they have the most beautiful and biggest farmers market EVER. I love Franklin! I’m glad you had a great trip!!! The Smoky Mountains are so pretty! (what a sweet aunt you have!)

Thank you for visiting. I am honored that you are here.
You'll find me quite eclectic. I talk about family, my current college career (since I'm an old person in college), life as it comes, a little political commentary, and spiritual viewpoints based on the Bible. You are welcome here. As my dad frequently said, "All strangers are potential friends."
